Arsene Wenger plays down defeat to Tottenham Hotspur

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has warned Tottenham Hotspur that it would be "dangerous" to read too much into Saturday's win in the North London derby.

Two goals from Harry Kane saw Spurs come from behind at White Hart Lane to secure a 2-1 victory, after Mesut Ozil had put the Gunners ahead in the first half.

Mauricio Pochettino's men have moved ahead of their rivals in the Premier League table with the result.

When asked if Spurs could over-analyse their success, Wenger told the Daily Mirror: "Yeah, of course, it is dangerous. But the fact is we lost a game and we cannot deny that.

"But overall there's a long way to go, so I believe just keep going and recover, show quickly a strong response on Tuesday and then we see where we stand after that.

"It's not the first time we lose a game, but how we bounce back is to take the information from what we got at Tottenham and respond very quickly."

Arsenal face struggling Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday evening.
